Tel: 01720 422153
This site exhibits a wide diversity of habitats with several rare and notable plant species. The pond and fringing habitats are also of particular importance for breeding and migrant birds.
The site contains the largest area of open water on St Mary's, which supports a wide range of aquatic plant and animal species. The pool and the surrounding reed beds are important for Dragonflies, Damselfies, like the Blue-tailed damselfly Isnura elegans, and breeding birds. Higher Moors and Porth Hellck Pool are SSSI sites which lie within the Isles of Scilly Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
